The statement should not exceed ten pages in length and should address all issues outlines in the Standing Order for All Judges of the Northern District. the approved form for such statements can be accessed here:

      a. The parties are not required to complete a section if inapplicable. As number 20, the statement shall provide the following information: (i) a list or description of each party; (ii) a summary of all claims, counter-claims, cross-claims, or third party claims and the date the complaint and cross-complaint(s) were filed; and (iii) a brief procedural history of the case (chart format welcomed) including, but not limited to, any ADR proceedings or settlement conferences that have been scheduled or concluded and any appellate proceedings that are pending or concluded.

      b. If the parties believe that an immediate case management conference is needed, the parties shall explain why and identify the urgent matters that require attention. If there is no immediate need, a case management conference will be scheduled or reset pursuant to Paragraph 2 of this Order as needed.

9. The Joint Case Management Statement will not constitute a motion to extend or modify dates. If emergency relief is needed to modify a deadline, and the deadline is not of the type that can be modified via stipulation of the parties without a court order, the requesting party or parties shall additionally file a motion or stipulation for such relief in compliance with Local Rule 6.
